If you’re planning a wedding with a travel theme or a destination wedding, you can incorporate elements of your love for adventure into your special day. With some DIY touches, a few globes and maps, and some creative ideas, you can create a beautiful and unique wedding that reflects your sense of wanderlust. Here are 30 ideas to help you get inspired:
- Use maps or globes as part of your wedding decor. You can incorporate maps into your invitations, use a globe as a centerpiece, or create a map guest book for your guests to sign.
- Use luggage tags as place cards or favors for your guests.
- Incorporate travel-themed elements into your wedding attire. For example, the groom could wear a map tie or the bride could carry a bouquet wrapped in a vintage map.
- Use a suitcase as a card box or to display photos or other sentimental items.
- Create a travel-themed escort card display using a vintage suitcase or luggage rack.
- Use vintage postcards as part of your table decor or as part of a display.
- Create a travel-themed photo booth with vintage suitcases, maps, and other props.
- Use travel-themed signage, such as old suitcases or vintage luggage tags, to guide your guests to different areas of your reception.

With these ideas, you can create a beautiful and memorable wedding that reflects your love of travel and adventure.
Invites written in passport style
There are many ways to create passport style invites. If you have the time, patience and skill, making them yourself can be a fun project. If not, there are plenty of online companies that offer pre-made invitations in this style. While some may cost more than others, they all serve the same purpose—to make your guests feel they’re getting an invitation worthy of their destination wedding.
Creating passport style invites is easy with a little bit of knowledge on how to use Photoshop or similar photo editing software programs (see our post on How To Make Your Own Wedding Invitations) but if you don’t have time or money for this option then we suggest checking out Etsy for some amazing deals!

Centerpieces with globes
Globes are a great way to add some travel-themed decor to your wedding and they can be found at most craft stores. You can also find them online on Amazon, which makes it easy for you to get these fun, affordable decorations for your big day.
Globes come in a variety of sizes, so whether you want to use them as table centerpieces or have one up on the head table (or both!), there’s an option out there that will work just fine!
A great way to tie in travel-themed wedding ideas is by making the place cards in the shape of luggage tags. This is another way to incorporate your guests’ names with fun details from your destination wedding, and it will be so much easier than a traditional name card. You can make up these luggage tags ahead of time and hand them out at arrival or use a piece of luggage as a table number so everyone knows where they should sit. Another fun idea is to use luggage tags as favors for guests to take home with them after the ceremony; this way, you can keep some items from your honeymoon as well!

Luggage cart as a drink station
If you have a luggage cart, this can be used as a drink station! It’s so cute and easy to make. All you need is ribbon, some bows and fun beverage containers. This idea works well if your theme is travel or something like that because most luggage carts come in bright colors that could go with any wedding theme. You can also decorate it will other things related to travel such as suitcases or airplanes etc.. It would also make an awesome photo booth station! Another bonus of this idea is that you can use it at the end of the night to collect all your gifts from guests on the way out so they don’t get lost in the shuffle.
Suitcases for guests to put cards in
If you want to give guests a place to put their cards and gifts, then suitcases are a great option. They can be made out of cardboard or wood and decorated with stickers or paint to make them look like real suitcases. If you’re lucky enough to have an actual suitcase lying around, that’s even better!
You can also use the suitcase as a place for guests to put gifts for the bride and groom if you don’t have another basket available. You can find some really cute ones online if you search “suitcase gift baskets.”
Gift bags from different countries for guests
When it comes to the gifts you give your guests at your wedding, there are a lot of options. You can go with something practical like a kitchen item or something fun like an inflatable pool toy. However, one of my favorite things about weddings is how they bring people together from all around the world and create a sense of community that’s hard to find in normal life. I love this idea so much, I’ve created some themed gift bags for different countries!
Each bag contains items from that country: candy/nuts/sweets, coffee/tea/hot chocolate mix packets (no loose leaf tea in these!), paperclips shaped like money (if applicable), postcards with interesting facts about the country…and so on! The point isn’t just to hand out cool stuff; it’s to encourage people to explore new places and learn more about other cultures through their gifts! This way everyone can have fun opening up their presents while also learning something new about different places in our world.”
What better way to celebrate your commitment than with a travel themed wedding?
What better way to celebrate your commitment than with a travel themed wedding? Whether you have a honeymoon or not, this is the perfect theme for any couple who loves to travel.
Travel themed weddings can be as simple or elaborate as you like. If your budget is tight, it’s easy enough to do everything on the cheap: no-frills decorations, homemade favors, and so on. On the other hand, if you want things done up right—or if your family members insist they’ll only give you cash if they get their input into things—you could spend tens of thousands of dollars on a lavish event that wouldn’t look out of place at Versailles.
Conclusion
We hope you were inspired by these travel themed wedding ideas. It’s a great way to create a theme that fits your personality and bring your love of travel into the celebration. Whether you want to go with traditional or unique ideas, there are so many ways to incorporate travel into your special day! Remember though, keep it simple and don’t overdo it—you want guests to focus on the love between two people rather than all the details of the party itself!
